CirrostratusDNS load balancing for External Websites
MVPMinor notes:
The GTM/DNS modules is an intellegent dns resolver, it is never in line. It provides an answer to a dns question. i.e. - what is the IP address of server.fff.org
- if your websites are configured using the first level domain ffff.org and gggg.com you will have to delegate the zone to the GTM. If you are using a 2nd level domain, myserver.ffff.org and myapp.ggg.org you can easily change the A record for them to the cname with the delgation.
This is less of a "f5" question and more of a proper DNS architecture problem. What f5 introduces is the abiliy to monitor and provide HA based upon a tested condtion.
CirrostratusUnderstand, So I do required a deligation?
Example: myapps.org is hosted on GoDaddy point to 1.1.1.1
My 2 virtual myapps servers are 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2. In go daddy I can only provide one IP so There in the CNAME or NS feild under myapps.org I need to configure my GTM Listerner IP or Hostname?
its first level domain. Do I need to create a new Zone/Deligation in GTM or in my Internal DNS to listen on Internal dns and send to GTM? but it will change the URL to myapps.gslb.org?
so pointing directly to the GTM wont work ?
appreciate the help 🙂
